Rosalind Krauss, Sculpture in the Expanded Field

Rosalind Krauss Sculpture in the Expanded Field (October, Vol. 8. (Spring, 1979), pp. 30-44.)

This text provides a potted history of sculptural practice in the 20th Century, helps us to understand what sculpture is today and the way that sculpture has evloved over time. I don't want to provide to full overview here but I do want to draw attention to the Klein diagram that Krauss uses to categorize different modes of sculpture, we will most likely revisit this diagram a few times over the course in order to contentualize the examples that we are looking.

Here is the diagram:
